  • Those areas of the electrical duct where there are no duct electrical outlets are covered by means of appropriately cut blind front panels, the cross profile of which is shaped in such a way that they can be easily, e.g. can be attached to the electrical duct by pressing. Only the outlets of the duct electrical outlets installed in the electrical duct are therefore visible to the outside. All cables and other installation material are invisible inside the electrical duct.
  • the electrical sockets that can be installed on the wall can be installed, for example, in surface-mounted installation boxes or in-wall installation boxes.
  • the cover of an electrical socket combination installed in an electrical duct or on a wall is often a separate frame which has as many cutouts as the electrical socket combination has exit combinations which lead out of the wall or out of the electrical duct.
  • a double socket can form its own whole, for which the cover has a larger cutout.
  • a single socket, telephone jack, coaxial cable plug, switch, clock or any part of an electrical socket combination may require a cover for its cutout.
